let DIR. Dabney speak for himself In his
letter of acceptance he says;
We propose to educate the whole man,
to educate the eye to judge, and the hand
to hew to the line as well as the brain to
reason and remember facts. At the same
time we must not be understood to depre-
ciate classical education. But your insti-
tuition was established to educate the
industrial Clssses." 1t is college OF

that of any other in the State. 1t shall

rived at Falmouth to-day with the
thirteen survivors lon board.
The boat was rescued on the 18th
inst. The survivors say that on the
first day after leaving the steamer
they experienced very rough
weather. They had plentiful sup
ply of bread and meat but very little
water. AS consequence they suf-
fered badly from thirst. The
weather was hot and this greatly
contributed to their discomfort.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 24.-Dispatches
from Lincoln, Ill. say, A passenger
train ON the Peoria. Decatur and
Evansville Railroad was derailed
near Salt Creek last night. The en-
gine and all the cars left the rails
while go ng 40 miles IN hour. Fort
unately the entire train remained
on the grade and came to a stand-
still after humping on the ties for
about 200 feet. Search was made
for the cause OF the accident, and it
Was discovered that Fl III plates and
spikes had been removed from the
rails. In the weeds on the bank a
crowbar and other tools were found
with which the work had been
done. There is no doubt the pur-
pose of the fiends was to rob the
train. A freight train failowing
close bahind Was stopped few
yards from the derailed passenger
train, and thus what might have
been a horrible disaster was avoided

Admission Day Celebration.

Admission Day CoieDEnthOhs
The coming celebration of Admis-
sion Day on September 9th, to be held
at San Diego, will be the finest affair
ever witnessed in Southern California
The San Diego boys have nearly $4,000
raised to properly celebrate the event.
The merchants OF San Diego with be-
coming patriotism have decided to close
their stores on that day. 1t is estimat-
ed that delegation of nearly 100 Ma
tive Sons will leave this city on the
morning of the Sth to participate in
the celebration. Mr.. T. M. Garcia, a
well-known and popular Angelefio,
but now resident of San Diego was
in this city yesterday receiving the
hospitality of his legion of friends
here. Mr.. Garcia reports everything
in San Diego at fever heat of enthu-
siasm over the celebration, and proph-
esied glorious time for all partici-
pants. He left for his home last eve-
ming, amidst the regrets of his many
acquaintances. 1t is important that
every m, mber of both the local Parlors
attend their respective meetings this
week, as full reports from the commit
tee on arrangements Will be presented.
The Los Angeles boys have subscribed
literally towards supporting the
good name of Los Angeles
in true California style, but
considerable more funds are needed
and will no doubt be secured without
trouble.
A large pavilion is being built by
the San Diego Parlor in which to hold
the ball, banquets, etc. 1t is even
stated that no member from this city
will be lallowed to paya board bill.
The celebration at Napa will be at
tended by nearly 5000 Native Sons,
but Southern California does not pro-
pose to be less patriotic than the
north, and will give a celebration that
will equal any in the State.

Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1887-02-24

A very remarkable meteoric phe-
nomeuon ACQUIRED here on Friday the
18th inst. to which the Oldest inha5i-
tant knows no parallel. The day had
been stormy with snow and rain, the
wind blowing gently from an easterly
direction. The temperature was u
little above 800 fahrenheit. About
quarter past one o'clock p. IN. "a show
err of dusc and sand commenced fall
Ing in connection with snow and rain.
Ia n few minutes the surface CT the snow
became colored dark brown nearly
the color of ordinary san |. The
shower did not last to exceed i'fteen
minutes. When it ceased the surface
of the snow looked as though sand
had been blown over 1t from sand
bank. The appearance of the matter
through inagnilier was that of par
ticles of sand Embedded in small crys-
tails of ice. These crystals were not
spherical like common hail stones bat
were quite angular. How large an area
was covered by this storm is not yet
ascertained. The eastern edge OF il is
reported to I've about five miles east of
here, and 1t certainly extends two and n
half miles west and about the same
distance north and to- or near Gray
ling on the south, How much firth
er it extends in these directions is not
yet determined. There Is not ,probab-
IT, SPOT of bare ground within u
hundred miles of this place in any d.
rection. Hence, the question is peril
nent; where did this sand come from2
There are at least two specimens of
this Dirt preserved here subject for in
vestigation, to the call of scientific
men.
